Throughout its history, AACR has presented hundreds of awards and lectureships to recognize the scientific achievements of scientists and physicians who have made significant contributions to the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer.

The esteemed AACR Scientific Achievement Awards Program honors researchers through 19 prestigious awards for their global impact on cancer research.

We encourage scientists who are now or have been affiliated with any cancer research institution to nominate a deserving colleague. Nominations for the 2015 award program are closed. Check back to see when nominations for 2016 will open.
